Fake Oregon Placenames

I found a list of real Oregon placenames at the US Board on Geographic Names. I did a round of A.I. training with the raw data and found the output too noisy. So I did a little data massaging and gave it another shot, this time with cleaner results.

I set the whole thing up on a free AWS instance with the torch-rnn docker image. It was a snap. A slow snap. It would be faster with more processing power.

Without further setup, plan your next camping trip and imagine the vistas you'll see in such artificially imagined Oregon places as:

Thkewood Meadows

Cookstop Lake

Thedrel Springs Cemetery

Water Reservoir

Rogah Butte

Newar Creek

Willaning Creek

Dazian

Booper Summit

Pister Creek Ranch Spring

Josspor Ridge

Bickmass Log Pond

Trout Bucktuby

Monnnit Hellant Plant Creek

Pitter Cip Number One

Seven Creek

Giam Creek

Hemil M Creek

Hug Waterhole

Dukapin Meadows

Bensbush Creek

Malow Creek

Lattle Lake Recreation Meadows

Mule Park

Road Ranch

Bruck Creek

Gregley Park Recreation Site

Forent Well

Kench Bed Reservoir

Indian Slide

Sinkhawk Trail

Tondyle Canyon

Spilling Pond

Syn Reservoir

Pieson Reservoir

Thirn Mountain

Fence and Swalich

Lower Spring Cemetery

Bolard Creek

Coney Butte Park

Skihino Peak

Laix Spring

Clenmill Creek

Oshers Forest

Fork Slow Spring

This is a random linear sampling from potentially infinite output. It might be funnier to go through with an editorial eye and find the most amusing, but it's getting late and I have a trip to Fence and Swalich to plan.
